Ahead of a possible normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Israel’s Channel 12 TV is already touting tourism possibilities in the kingdom.
A segment this afternoon highlights the abundant tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia, which has long been closed off to Israelis, noting archaeology and nature, along with the modern infrastructure of the oil-rich country.
According to the report, travel agencies and airlines are already gearing up for the possibility of Saudi Arabia being accessible to Israelis, with the approximately 2-hour flight from Tel Aviv to Jeddah expected to cost $350.
It notes the explosive rise of Israeli tourism to the UAE following the signing of the Abraham Accords and predicts a similar trend with the Saudis.
